Chapter 4: Fish
There are thousands of slaves in the Chen family, and she was sick when she came here, and her mind was not clear, so she naturally didn't know whether what the little general said was true or false.
Or maybe these people have found some clues.
The Chen family has a lot of power in the imperial court, she is the old lady of the Chen family, if she is really arrested by someone and threatens the imperial court in the northwest, it is indeed a little terrifying.
The little general saw the look of fear on Shu Yan's face, and said with a smile: "My grandmother died three years ago, and the Chen family also gave me a lot of money, and the Chen family has thousands of slaves, I don't think you know her." β
Shu Yan breathed a sigh of relief.
"The general's grandmother will be relieved to learn that you miss her so much."
A wry smile appeared at the corner of the little general's mouth, it was clear that he was young and vigorous, but for some reason, this little general Long Yun was extremely depressed.
The little general said quietly: "My home is in the lower reaches of the Li River, and it is my father and fellow villagers who are drowning this time." β
The little general's voice was low, and the old man sitting next to him coughed lightly.
Shu Yan's heart was vigilant.
She didn't think that a general should say so much to her, Shu Yan raised her head and looked at the old man sitting on the top.
The old man smiled at Shu Yan.
"Old lady, can you do us a favor?"
Shu Yan was stunned for a moment, and her expression was a little flustered.
The old man said: "You stew a fish for the general every day, so that he can express his homesickness, so that he will not be able to move after seven days." β
Hearing this, the little general looked at the old man coldly.
"Don't provoke me, since I have become a pioneer and received the military order, I naturally have to do it."
The little general looked at Shu Yan and said, "You go down." β
Shu Yan hurriedly left, and when she left the camp, she saw several scantily clad military prostitutes being escorted to the barracks where she had just left.
Qixiu is one of them.
Qixiu glanced at Shu Yan, her eyes full of despair.
Thinking about it, this woman was originally a collection of thousands of favors, but now that she has reached such a point, she is a little pitiful.
Shu Yan hurriedly left the barracks and went to the stove room at the back, it was the meal at this time, many soldiers came to receive the meal, and the whole stove room was surrounded.
Shu Yan shuttled, but it was extremely difficult.
When she finally got to the small stove, she saw her grandson nested in the corner, already asleep.
Shu Yan gently pushed Yunzhang and whispered, "Yu'an, are you hungry, grandma will go and get you some food." β
Yun Zhang nodded cautiously.
Shu Yan hurriedly stood up and walked towards the big stove outside, there were many military men in front of a few cauldrons, Shu Yan, the old woman, was very short.
She boldly asked, "I'm the cook in the general's kitchen, where do I get food?" β
The tall man used a wooden bowl to scoop Shu Yan with a bowl of rice that could not be seen.
Shu Yan hurriedly brought the meal to his grandson with a thousand thanks, and Yu'an's face turned pale with hunger.
Shu Yan hurriedly handed over the food.
Yu'an tasted it, and immediately said with some joy: "Grandma, there is fish and meat in this porridge." β
Shu Yan looked around, and she said softly: "Wait a while, grandma will cook you a fish to eat, you are the time to grow your body, you have to eat well." β
Yu An supported a few bites, and then pushed the meal to Shu Yan.
"Grandma, you can eat it too."
Shu Yan took a few bites, but he felt that it was really good.
Yu'an, the child, was extremely silent in the mansion in the past, except for going to Shu Yan on the fifteenth day of every month to ask for peace, he stayed in the courtyard by himself.
This child has no surname, but was born to Shu Yan's youngest daughter, but he doesn't know who his father is, so he has never had an identity.
Shu Yan reached out and touched Yu'an's head.
"Do you miss your aunt?"
Yu An lowered his head, he looked at his feet, and said a little sadly.
"Is A-Niang okay now?"
Yu'an's mother was sent back to her hometown in the northwest by the head of the Chen family, which can be regarded as safe.
Shu Yan said with a smile: "When we go back to the northwest, we will be able to see your aunt." β
At this moment, an old man walked in outside, it was Grandpa Su, Grandpa Su was holding a bowl of rice in his hand, and when he saw Shu Yan and Yunzhang eating, he said: "I thought that you might not have enough food to eat, but I thought I was too worried." β
Shu Yan hurriedly said, "Thank you, brother, for taking care of you." β
Shu Yan called him an old brother, which is also appropriate.
Grandpa Su walked up to Yun Zhang, touched Yun Zhang's head, and sighed slightly.
"It's made you suffer, and there won't be much peace to live in the future."
This Grandpa Su said firmly, Shu Yan couldn't help but ask: "I look at the strong soldiers in the Han army, old brother, do you mean that this battle will be fought for many years?" β
Grandpa Su sighed slightly.
"There is news from the northwest that the widow of the Chen family married into the royal family and was deeply favored by the emperor, and the emperor ignored the government and the authority in the northwest gradually fell into the hands of the Chen family."
Shu Yan couldn't help but feel a little worried.
Her husband Chen Shengnai is a military attachΓ©, if it weren't for the powerful Chen family, he would also be able to pay homage to the prime minister with his merits.
Shu Yan's husband is an extremely capable person.
Seeing Shu Yan's expression, Grandpa Su said in a low voice: "After all, the Chen family is a big clan in the south of the Yangtze River, if you can take your grandson away and go to the northwest, it can be regarded as a stable life." β
Grandpa Su sat on the ground next to him, with a string of beads on his wrist, which looked extraordinary.
Yun Zhang seemed to like the string of beads, and after a few more glances, Grandpa Su took off the string of beads on his wrist, and Grandpa Su stuffed the string of beads into Yunzhang's hand.
"I've sent you, if I have a fate in the future......"
Grandpa Su didn't say the second half of the sentence, he reached out and touched Yunzhang's head, and then glanced at Shu Yan.
Grandpa Su kicked down the bucket in front of the stove, and several fish in it were surging on the ground.
"The fish are gone, you go to the river to catch a few fish, and go half a mile to the west, there are many fish in that place."
Shu Yan was stunned when she heard this, she saw Grandpa Su's eyes full of meaning, and clenched Yu'an's hand.
"You ......"
"If you want to live, don't ask."
Grandpa Su looked at the grandfather and grandson deeply, and then left outside.
Shu Yan's heart was beating wildly, she reached out and touched Yu'an's head, and said softly: "Yu'an, are you afraid?" β
Yun Zhang shook his head.
The moon was bright and the stars were thin, Shu Yan took the barrel and took Yunzhang to the outside of the barracks.
When the military man at the camp gate saw Shu Yan, he immediately said coldly: "You can't leave the camp when it's dark." β
Shu Yan hurriedly explained: "This military master, General Long is going to drink fish soup early in the morning, and I am going to fish for the general." β
Jun Han said: "Can you go fishing by yourself?" β
Shu Yan continued: "My eyes are not good at my old body, and I can't see the fish. β
Jun Han snorted coldly.
"I'll go with you."
Shu Yan's heart was shocked, and the military man followed behind the two.
Shu Yan walked towards the river, and the moonlight stretched the shadows of the three of them long.
The water was surging in the distance, and Shu Yan keenly heard the sound of arrows coming from far away.
